People need to understand- self serving, attention whore, Democratic politicians like Gavin Newsom who throw vulnerable populations under the bus in a cynical attempt at Carville style triangulation are not the solution to fascism, they are what got us here.

People say they want to manufacture real things in America again BUT they complain that it’s “inappropriate” and “not productive” to talk about how we need lots of guillotines. Like make up your minds!

This sounds intuitively like the equivalent of executing prisoners.
"The DOD Manual is clear because the law here is clear: 'Persons who have been incapacitated by . . . shipwreck are in a helpless state, and it would be dishonorable and inhumane to make them the object of attack.'"

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

This is the imperial playbook. The western nation breaks a country, then they go look at those savages with a broken country.

There is no constitutionally legitimate scenario in which we are being de facto governed by the White House Deputy Chief of Staff using a half-dead president as his sock puppet. We went out of our way to amend the Constitution on precisely this point.

And liberals want to make it about when he got asylum? As if that doesn't play right into Miller's narrative? This is a consequence of a bipartisan military complex and addiction to brutality. Grow up.

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

You gotta think that something quite maladaptive is going on with these people that turn transphobia into their entire life identity.
as always, transphobia consumes your entire personality until there is nothing left but deeply offputting garbage

This isn't strange, if you realize the The New York Times has become a racist piece of trash.
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

Just removing all subsidies to irrigation water, and making long-haul trucks pay the full cost of roadbed damage via weight-distance tolls, would massively decarbonize and relocalize US agriculture.
this I think is pretty easy if you just price water correctly

Why do journalists have no apparent solidarity whatsoever? This rancid POS jabs his finger in a woman reporter's face and calls her "piggy" and none of the other journalists there says a word?
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.
You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
